US President Donald Trump said on Friday announced that no government officials would attend the G20 summit, scheduled to be held in South Africa later this month.
Trump has repeatedly said he would not attend the summit in South Africa, which is scheduled for November 22 and 23, due to friction with its host over Pretoria's policies on land and Israel.
"It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa," Trump said on his Truth Social network.
"Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue. I look forward to hosting the 2026 G20 in Miami, Florida," he said.
Earlier in September, Trump had said that Vice President JD Vance would attend the G20 summit instead of him, according to a report by AFP.
The US president plans to host the 2026 summit at his golf resort in Miami.
